CURRENT MISSION

Hand myself over completely to the recreation-based lifestyle in Denver.

ABOUT ME

I am 24 years old. For the past five years my education has taken me to several different places that, for 3 months at a time, I was calling home. Traveling has always been a huge part of who I am and I would consider it my most sincere passion/hobby. My program allowed me to live in New York City, San Francisco, Orange County, Biloxi (Katrina Disaster Planning), & Thirasia (little island of 200 in Greece). So the next move is to hit Denver for the next 10-12 months :) Can't wait to get out there to the fresh powder and endless bike trails.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that this website/project is a perfect example of the kind of world I like to interact with. People who treasure trust, loyalty and who are selfless enough to offer a hand to those in need is what we need more of. Traveling opens your mind and breaks down ignorance. That's why I am participating and I would promise to offer complete respect for whomever I should come in contact with in the process.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to the CS Project, but hope that I can offer more in the future. Since I don't yet have a place to live in Denver, it is not yet possible for me to offer a couch or a room. If I live alone, I think it is very likely that I'll be able to offer more. For now, I am just surfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled Europe with my brother. The night of his birthday we were in Cinque Terre, Italy. I went to the bar to get him a shot so we could celebrate at midnight. When I got there, there was a girl at the bar demanding that she needed tended to first. Turns out, she was doing the exact same thing for her boyfriend. We decided to get 4 shots and take them to the table where we all threw them back together. The next day, they'd invited us to leave Cinque Terre to stay with them at their flat in Florence. It wasn't on the itinerary, but the next day we were there and had a party of people waiting to sing to both the girls boyfriend and my brother for their bdays. It was completely random, but just a prime example of the wonders of giving yourself to the journey.

Teach, Learn, Share

I usually try to become as informed as possible on the places that I live. History, points of interest, different scenes and neighborhoods. That said, I would offer great advice on visiting Cincinnati. However, now that I am moving, I will try to get acclimated to Denver ASAP to become a local resource there.
